A Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputy escorting Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade was hit this afternoon at Gibson and Carlisle.
Police say a woman drove around two police units blocking the intersection and hit a car driven by a sergeant with BCSO.
No injuries or arrests have been reported, but the sergeant has been taken to Presbyterian Hospital for evaluation.
A sheriff's spokeswoman would not say whether the vice president had already gone through the area at the time of the accident.
Motorcades Often Dangerous in ABQ Area
In Aug. 2007, a Rio Rancho motorcycle officer who was part of President Bush's motorcade died after a crash near I-25 at Sunport. Another officer was injured during a motorcade in Feb. 2006: Motorcycle Cop Hurt Escorting Bush Motorcade
Biden's motorcade was involved in another accident last week.
Biden was in Albuquerque for a $1,000-a-plate luncheon for for first-term Democratic Reps. Martin Heinrich and Harry Teague at Albuquerque's Hotel Andaluz.
